Dear Ms Yamamoto,
Recently my class h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ad a guest speaker from South Africa. He told us about a wonderful animal
called aardvark (非洲蚁 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )熊) My classmates and I learnt many interesting facts about the aardvark which will help us write our animal reports.

Another name for ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the aardvark is "anteater". This is because it eats ants. The long tongue can reach into the hole of an anthill（蚁冢）and get its food.

The aardvark is a very shy animal. However, when an animal attacks, the aardvark will protect itself with its front claws. Sometimes it will lie on the back and fight with all four claws.
Another name for ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the aardvark is "anteater". This is because it eats ants. The long tongue can reach into the hole of an anthill（蚁冢）and get its food. It is because of its diet that I am writing this letter. If I had an aardvark, I could keep it well fed and it could help me with the ant problem in my backyard. Do you know where I could get one I look forward to your reply.
Yours,
Mike Wingle
